The longer it takes for the heart rate to return to normal, the greater the risk for death. This relation has been demonstrated only in people with known cardiovascular disease. It is unknown, however, whether the same relation between heart rate recovery and risk for death exists in healthy people.Why did the researchers do this particular study?The ...
